win CBGB Festival passes; check out the updated schedule (films, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. & more added)
As mentioned several times, CBGB Festival is happening in NYC from July 5-8. Still no word on when, where, or even if Superchunk are playing, (or Wyclef Jean or Clap Your Hands Say Yeah for that matter) but the current and changing schedule can be seen at the CBGB website.
Nirvana bassist-turned-politician Krist Novoselic will give the keynote speech at the festival and there will be many other music conferences including a “CBGB – Tales From The Club” with a former Ramones manager.
The music schedule has a huge variety of shows, many of which we’ve mentioned, like Redd Kross/The Men at MHOW, which The Labor Pool, who were supposed to open the Superchunk/Redd Kross show were added to. They’ve also opened shows for Mission of Burma, Yo La Tengo, Wild Flag, and include Superchunk/Yo La Tengo booking agent Bob Lawton as a member.
Other shows that we’ve previously mentioned include Agnostic Front, Madball, and Murphy’s Law at Webster Hall, Reggie Watts and Radio 4 at the Bell House, Cro-Mags, Sick of it All and more at Webster Hall, MEN at Gramercy Theater, the free Guided by Voices/The Pains of Being Pure at Heart/Cloud Nothings/The War on Drugs show at Central Park and more. There’s a ton of other good artists playing shows too, including Mykki Blanco, Escort, Andy Shernoff, David Johansen, Richard Lloyd, and so many more. One of these is the recently announced show with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Lissy Trullie, and Fawn at Highline Ballroom July 6. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
The festival is also screening a number of films, some of which are making their premiere at the festival like the new Archers of Loaf documentary (well, it’s making its US premiere, its world premiere was last week in Toronto at NXNE). And then there’s the schedule for the film panels and of course the spirits festival.
Tickets for the previously discussed show at The Bell House on July 6 with Reggie Watts, the reunited Radio 4, and The Jigglers are still available if you dont want to trouble yourself with a festival badge. Those badges are still on sale, but if you don’t want to pay for one, we have TWO PAIRS of badges to give away. Details on how to enter to win are below.
